Canucks prospects tracker: Woo's comeback bid, Wild Bill strikes again
Jett Woo
Everyone loves a good comeback story.
Jett Woo’s is a work in progress.
The Abbotsford Canucks defenceman — a highly-touted 2018 second round pick whose development path has been uneven, at best — has found his footing this campaign, motivated by a season that went sideways for the 22-year-old.
“I know definitely last year, it was a tough year for me, mentally,” Woo told Postmedia after practice on Thursday. “Just when I was starting to feel it, I get injured. Come back, have COVID, miss another couple games. Play half a game, hurt my wrist, miss seven-and-a-half weeks, come back and it’s almost playoff time. We have all our D set, all of our forwards set, and I end up playing forward.”
Woo went back to basics this past summer, watching tons of game tape and working hard on his skating.
“For me and my development, I know I had a great camp this year and I felt good. I feel I’ve been playing great these last couple games and moving my feet.”
Woo put his improved stride to the test on opening night in Abbotsford a couple weeks ago, when a San Diego Gull had the gall to toe-drag the 6-foot, 205-pound right-shot D-man.
“I tried to backcheck as hard as I could and luckily I was right there in the perfect spot to make a hit and was able to get a good lick in on him,” said Woo. “I get my stick and look behind me and I see my D partner (Wyatt Kalynuk) taking it all the way to the house and passing it for a goal, so it was a pretty exciting feeling and I’ll never forget how loud the crowd got there. It was really cool.”
